With 55-58lb draw I'd stick to fixed blade broadheads. More important than which broadhead is a tuned bow and arrows that are the right spine and have been spin tested. Good clean arrow flight and proper shot placement have killed far more deer than any broadheads sales pitch ever will.

I shoot rages. I know people that love em, I know people that hate em. I have shot at 1 deer with them, and it dropped the deer. So I have no reason to switch right now. Shaw is right but I use Rage like Jono because I don't have the patience to sight in both field points and broadheads. The Rages I shoot are identical to to my field tips so I avoid having to adjust sights twice. That's the main thing I like about mechanical. If not, I'd shoot a Slick trick like Shaw says.

Well tuned bow and arrows first and foremost! Then Simmons Tree Shark. Don't need no stinkin' mechanicals or long blood trails!

If you must use a fixed blade i will back slicks as ive killed several with them an they work well, but vortex broadheads went back in business an i have no reason to shoot other heads now. Vortex has been around along time an ive killed aloootttt of deer withem.

Shaw I saw these the other day and was just about to buy them. Never heard of them but they have a sweet design and remind me of the muzzy blades I shot before but better. And when tuning should I just tune broadheads or should I shoot field points to get it close and then tune to broadheads? Tune with field points then tune the rest to get the broadheads to hit with them. http://www.aldeer.com/Bows.html

I liked muzzy 125gr. and Wensel Woodsmans screw in. You can resharpen the Woodsmans and reuse them multiple times. However, I was able to kill 3 deer and 2 hogs with the same Muzzy head by swapping out the blades. I killed a pile of deer with Thunderhead 125's too.

Slick Trick. Bought them for my son and watched him kill a couple deer pulling 47 lbs. I swapped to them and wont ever change unless they go out of business.
